components of the cutter before any operation.
Then check the correct functioning of all its
components.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the ON button (ref. 1 - Fig.7) and the OFF
button (ref. 2 - Fig.7)
2. Verify that the machine stops if the tank-locking
arm is rotated anti-clockwise (ref. 10 - Fig.1)
3. Verify that the revolution speed increases and
decreases by rotating the SPEED knob (ref. 4 -
Fig.7) clockwise and anti-clockwise
4. Press the PULSE button (ref. 3 - Fig.7) with brief
pulses.
CAP. 5 - USE
5.1 - Controls
The commands are placed on the body of the cutter (ref. 2 - Fig.1).

CHAP. 1 - INFORMATION ABOUT THE MACHINE
1.1 - GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
-
The machine may be used only by trained staff familiar with the safety information
given in this manual.
-
New staff must be trained in the use of the machine before using it.
-
Before cleaning or servicing the machine, disconnect it from its power supply.
-
The residual risks must be assessed when servicing or cleaning the machine with
the guards removed.
-
When servicing or cleaning the machine, concentrate on the job in hand.
-
Regularly check the condition of the power cable; damaged or worn power cables
pose a serious electrical hazard.
-
If the machine appears to be or is malfunctioning, do not use it or try to fix it
yourself; contact the “Service Centre” immediately.
-
Do not use the machine for frozen products, meat and fish with bones or any non-
food products.
-
Do not put your fingers inside the bowl when the machine is working.
-
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the following cases:
the machine is tampered by unauthorised personnel;
components are replaced with non original spare parts;
the instructions in this manual are not followed carefully;
the surfaces of the machine are treated with unsuitable products.
1.2 - SAFETY EQUIPMENT
1.2.1 - mechanical safety equipment
As for mechanical safety equipment, the machine described in this manual complies
with the UL and CSA standard.
Safety requirements are ensured with (see 1.3.3) the lid which can only be removed if
the tank-locking arm is rotated anti-clockwise on the side of the lid itself.
1.2.2 - electrical safety equipment
As for electrical safety equipment, the machine described in this manual complies with
the UL and CSA standards.
The machine is provided with:
-
coded micro-switch which stops the machine if the lid is removed (see FIG. no.1),
and prevents the machine from being restarted until the lid is correctly closed;
-
relay in the command circuit which requires a voluntary restart of the machine after
a power blackout.
Even if professional cutters are equipped with electrical and mechanical safety
devices (during normal use and during cleaning and maintenance operations), there
are residual risks which cannot be completely eliminated; these are referred to in this
manual with the wording CAUTION.
These risks may arise when handling the blades while loading the machine or during
cleaning or sharpening operations of the blades.

1.3 - DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
1.3.1 - general description
Professional cutters are designed and manufactured by our company, for the purpose
of cutting, mincing, whisking and mixing food products (such as vegetables, meat,
bread, etc.), ensuring:
-
maximum safety during use, cleaning and maintenance operations;
-
maximum hygiene, thanks to the meticulous selection of the materials that come
into contact with food, and to the edge-less and corner-less design, for easy and
thorough cleaning and simple dismantling;
-
all parts are stable and robustly constructed;
-
it is extremely silent thanks to the belt transmission;
-
it is very easy to handle.
1.3.2 - construction
Professional cutters are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel.
This material is suitable for food (hygiene) and is perfectly resistant to acids and salts,
and has high resistance against oxidation.
Blades are rectified and tempered and made with cutlery steel (ASI 420); they are
designed to cut, mince, whisk and mix without ever having to change utensils.
Tank in 18/10 stainless steel with heat-diffusing bottom, provided with handles for an
excellent handling and easy removal during cleaning and maintenance.
There are nevertheless “RESIDUAL RISKS” which cannot be completely eliminated,
which are highlighted in this manual by the wording “CAUTION”; they are related to
the risks of contusion or electroshock during loading and unloading the product,
cleaning or when using the machine improperly.

3.3 - Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials (cardboard box, plastic strap and polyurethane foam) can be
disposed of as normal domestic waste; there is no difficulty in disposing of them.
If the machine is installed in a country in which special regulations apply, dispose of
the material in a regulatory manner.
CHAP. 4 - INSTALLATION
4.1 - Positioning
Place the product on a solid surface following the surface dimensions indicated in the
table (par. 2.1); the surface must be smooth, non-slippery, dry, robust and solid and it
must be placed at a height of 80 cm above the ground.
Furthermore, the cutter must be placed in an environment with a max. non-saline
humidity of 75% and a temperature between +5°C and +35°C; and, in any case, in an
environment which does not lead to any machine malfunctions.
4.2 - Electrical connection
The machine has a power cable with a cross section of 3x1.5 mm², a length of 2.5 m
and a NEMA plug.
Connect the machine to a 120 or 230 Volt 60 Hz power supply.
Check that the earth system functions perfectly and make sure the connection is
provided with a thermo-magnetic 0.03A circuit breaker.
Also check that the information on the machine's nameplate matches the
specifications given in the delivery and shipping documents, and that both the master
switch and cable are easily accessible while the machine is in use.
